At the beginning of my daughter’s life, in the breast-fed baby stage, we used a majority of cloth diapers and never decided to purchase a diaper genie. As she now approaches two, well past the breast-fed stage, we’ve made the switch to disposable diapers. But we still haven’t purchased the “genie.” I’ve figured out how [...]
After making my flannel swaddling blanket, I decided to make an infant carrier cover from the same flannel fabric. It matched the new baby car seat carrier perfectly, so I couldn’t resist. Wanna make one too? Keep reading for the tutorial…
For my daughter, I loved using Swaddle Design’s Flannel Baby Blankets – I have three of them, and I still use them daily even though she’s pushing two years old. Looking at their construction, and being the “I can make that” person that I am, I had to [...]
For a quick project this week, I made my daughter an easy shirred summer dress. We’ve had heat in the upper 90s for this entire month with barely a drop of rain. She needed a HOT weather dress. I thought this was a great solution.

Remember back in February when I posted 28 different ways to embellish a onesie? Well I have one more for you: instead of tie-dying, it’s tea dying! Yes, with black tea! My daughter has oodles of plain white onesies, but sometimes you need an off-white onesie to coordinate with your [...]
In my part of the world (Alabama) we are definitely thinking spring. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, the bees are buzzing. I just hope we can think spring for a little while before it becomes summer! Because it gets so hot and humid here, linen is a wonderful fabric to choose for [...]
I’ve had this idea for a while, but it’s been on the back burner since Embellish Your Onesie Month was taking center stage, but now it’s time for a little bib love. Bibs are a great accessory, but the problem is they get dirty. And so “Ma-Ma” takes the dirty [...]
If you’re like me, you hate to buy things that you know you are ultimately going to throw away, especially when you could make something better yourself. Take disposable bibs for example. 36 for $18 at Target? Or even 24 for $6 on Amazon? Call me cheap, but “no, thanks,” says I. So, to [...]
See that photo above? That is a lettuce edge. Ahh, you say. It’s that ruffled edge on toddler and infant girl clothes that I’ve seen so many times before. To make a lettuce edge, you just need a sewing machine and knit fabric. Most people think to do it right you have [...]
Ah, the keyhole neckline. You know what I’m talking about – that sweet little teardrop-shaped opening right under the chin. It’s a very simple onesie update that can really make it feminine and cute — the things that all infant girl clothes should be!! This tutorial is very easy and does NOT require a sewing [...]
